Re: Social mechanics clarification
Social characters are not better in battle, and I don't think they should be. But - there aren't very many ways to really defend against a social monster out of combat. And lots of normal people with normal Social Defenses are in positions of great influence. They might have a few skills, but no rea...

Re: Movement possibilities
I think it would be a house rule, which means sure if it works for your table. I'd probably insist on the players using Splitting Movement, though.

Re: Social mechanics clarification
Part of it is convincing the other party that the returning 'favor' is really a favor. "It'll make me look good? Are you sure?"

Re: Houserule idea, starting with crafting.
Summary: Don't spend a bunch of time on something unless it is fun. I think it would be more interesting to leverage those crafting skills into contacts at forges or shops.

Re: What language do Therans speak?
Yes, and there is no place where anyone speaks 'correct' dwarf. Everyone speaks a dialect.

Re: What language do Therans speak?
When I visited Sweden a few years ago, I met old ladies who didn't speak Swedish. They spoke the local dialect that was originally spoken by everyone within 1 day's travel by horse of the one major trading hub. Prior to the automobile, that's as far as people traveled. They could barely understand S...

The character on guard duty cannot make any movement, but as a free action can prevent others from moving through any space within 2 yards (adjacent hexes). In order to move through, other characters must mak...
